I was hoping that since we stayed up late the night before the kiddos would sleep in a bit. Instead, I woke up to Audrey telling me it's time to get up because Santa came! They were so excited they could hardly sit still for a quick picture.

Audrey finally got her Kindle Fire she'd been asking for nonstop

Carter thrilled to have the Lego death star!!

The only other item she kept asking for-a bouncy house! A few weeks before Christmas I told her to stop jumping on the couch. She replied, "Then Santa better hurry up and bring me a bouncy house! I need to jump!"

Carter got the spy gear he was wanting from Great Grandma Aprahamian

The kids helped Sasha open her presents

Evelyn got a baby Stella. She loves giving her the paci

Evelyn couldn't wait for Chuck to put her princess cozy coupe together

Normally we let the kids open presents from everyone else on Christmas Eve. This year friends of ours hosted an open house that we were at until late. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures! I know! That's not like me at all!

All I have for Christmas Eve is our picture of the loot Santa left behind. Sasha is the only child that got into the picture. Now that Carter is getting older we are having to stay up later to make sure he's asleep before setting everything out.

It was a busy holiday season. Usually, we get cookies made and frosted earlier in the month but this year they didn't get done until the 23rd! Just in time. The kids were getting worried we wouldn't have any to leave for Santa.

Carter always takes this job seriously ;)

Their masterpieces coming together

Almost done

Evelyn had to sit there with them but didn't do too much with the cookies. I'm sure she'll be much more into it next year.
